We're now serving cold brew Cascara in the cafe and at the Great Barrington Farmer's Market. We've known about it for a while, but it was while we were in Panama last February that we grew to love it. And not just for the taste. It also happens to be super-high in antioxidants, great for the environment and even better for the farmers who grow it.

We are pleased to announce the third annual 30under30 group exhibition, featuring the multimedia work of 30 artists under the age of 30 living in and around Berkshire County. Continuing the tradition of previous shows, 30under30:3 creates a space for young, often underrepresented artists to showcase their work. The show will run March 1st– April 15th, 2019, with an opening reception March 3rd, from 4pm – 5:30pm.

We are featuring a rotating array of coffees grown by female coffee growers around the world under our "Campesinas" label, donating $1 for every pound sold to Cafe Femenino. Since 2004, Café Femenino has been an ethical sourcing model committed to ending the cycle of poverty afflicting women coffee farmers across the world. And so our new CAMPESINAS coffee is a beautiful Colombian from the highlands of Narina.

Fine artist Shira Toren’s work explores and defines a territory that is neither purely abstract nor overtly representational. Largely incorporating objects or scenes from our world, they undergo a process of obscuring, embedding, or encrypting by Toren’s hand to denote dignity or importance. These modifications create a vocabulary within an individual painting and across all her body of work, the elements of an elegantly altered sense of place, its language of emotions and its sensory architecture.
